capri0mniHello, All!
As some of you know, I've been lurking here for a while, and now, thanks to Gordon Dempster and Alryssa, I finally have a journal of my own, and won't have to be anonymous (Ann on a mouse? ;-)) any longer... Thanks, Guys!.
Okay... so now that I have a journal, what will I do with it?
Well.... One thing I've been missing in my life is the amount of writing just-for-fun that I used to do, in my salad days. I used to write all the time -- fantasy stories, funny stories, sci-fi stories, poems, songs, you name it. Then I grew up, went to college, and only started writing for assignments. When I left college, I stopped writing even for that... :-( ... mea culpa. But I think it was in part because once I was out of school, I was also out of a larger community, and didn't have other minds with which to share ideas and get bouncy with.
Well, now, I'm jumping back into a community. So there!
Watch this space for story snippets and silliness, poems, vignettes, and songs. 99% of these will never be "finished" but I want to get away from doing things only for the end goal, anyway...
Let the bounciness commence!
Oh, and ps: I've decided, because I hate to see good language go extinct, to use the "old fashioned" forms of the second person pronoun (Thou, Thee, You, and Ye).... You is plural, Thou is singular, -ou is the ending for the objective case, e/ee is subjective... (This practice will also help me get it right if I'm writing a story set in the 16th century)....
